No other chipset is supported, XBMC may run on a Rockchip box but there is no hardware decoding of media rendering XBMC largely useless. Same goes for all other non-Amlogic Android devices out there.

There is a hack to XBMC that allows you to use alternate media players for media decoding but then XBMC becomes just a shell and you lose the benefits of XBMC.

Rockchip and Allwinner devices are listed on the XBMC wiki but they are not supported by XBMC even though it runs on them in software decoding mode only. Allwinner status may change in the future, someone is working on their hardware decoders.

well...
I don't know how this thread slides to HW or SW decoding...
My only question is about an error message "parse error" with the XBMC APK file
I don't think it had to do with the video decoding , but i maybe mistaken.
